My Turn: Why I left last week’s House session
Published: 3/3/2021 6:00:07 AM
I was one of the Democrats who left the Bedford Sportsplex last Wednesday. But the news reports didn’t tell the whole story.
Yes, we were upset about plucking another anti-choice bill (HB 233) out of its place in the rotation of bills in the second part of the calendar that were meant to be acted on at Thursday’s session. For me though, part of the outrage began when the first such bill (HB 625) which had already been passed despite the bipartisan recommendation from the committee to kill the bill was passed and then referred to a second committee. That referral was proper as the bill contains fines ranging up $100,000 in it and that next committee – Criminal Justice – is one that judges the fairness of penalties. After several more bills had been acted upon, we learned that the referral to that second committee had been waived – meaning that there would be no opportunity for the public to weigh in on the penalties contained in that bill. An attempt was made to lay the bill on the table until we could learn why that portion of consideration was so callously waived and we were told – incorrectly – that the bill was not subject to tabling.
